No, I mean just okay in comparison to 30M for a year that switch is making or the 30M or 25M that DS and WII did. I am talking for insane numbers like those. And also yes, 80M lifetime it is good, okay sales. Nothing more. But I was talking primary for sales per year in comparison with what other consoles are making. And PSP haven't done 20M a year. And leave the numbers alone, there were not point in time where all the consoles selling very good and doing similar number. For any of the examples always the one console is way way up than the others. That is what I am trying to tell. There have not been a case yet where all 3 or 4 present consoles have been all with very good numbers selling at the same time making numbers on one level. Always for the one to be on top others have to be way down. Never the peak periods of the consoles meat let's say it in this way, because always if the one is in it's peak the other will be in not it's best form. (no weak sales performing consoles included.) |
Your bar for good sales is unrealistically high. Very few consoles in history have ever hit 20 million plus in a year, and only 11 systems in the history of gaming have ever sold over 80 million.
But even by those standards, Wii and DS pulled insane numbers side by side. Because as very different devices they didn't directly compete, just like Switch and PS/Xbox don't.
